Entertainment: Bollywood superstar Priyanka Chopra is set to share the screen once again with her ‘Baywatch’ co-star Zac Efron in an upcoming untitled comedy film helmed by Nicholas Stoller. The news of their reunion has sparked considerable excitement among fans of both actors.
Joining the stellar cast is Michael Pena, known for his powerful performance in ‘Cesar Chavez’. The film is being brought to life through a collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Priyanka Chopra herself confirmed her involvement in the project by sharing a snapshot of The Hollywood Reporter’s news article on her official Instagram story, further fueling anticipation for the movie.
The ensemble cast will also feature the talents of Regina Hall, Jimmy Tatro, and Billy Eichner, promising a dynamic and humorous on-screen chemistry. Director Nicholas Stoller will be working from his own script, marking a reunion with the studio behind his recent film ‘You’re Cordially Invited,’ which starred Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film, previously titled ‘Judgment Day,’ will center around a young convict, played by Zac Efron, who, upon his release from prison, takes control of an unscripted television courtroom. His drastic action stems from his conviction that the judge, portrayed by Will Ferrell, delivered a ruling that irrevocably damaged his life.
While the core premise has been revealed, specific details regarding Priyanka Chopra’s role and other plot intricacies are currently being kept under wraps, adding an element of mystery to the project.
In the meantime, Priyanka Chopra has several other exciting projects in the pipeline with Amazon MGM Studios, including ‘The Bluff,’ directed by Frank E Flowers, and ‘Heads of State,’ where she will star alongside former WWE champion turned actor John Cena.
Prior to this upcoming comedy, Priyanka was last seen in the action-packed series ‘Citadel’ alongside Richard Madden. However, fans eagerly awaiting the second season of the highly anticipated series will have to exercise patience, as its release has reportedly been postponed to spring 2026.
